Credit by Examination
Recognizing that many individuals gain knowledge through self-study which may be equivalent to that attained through the completion of formal college courses, Washburn University has adopted a comprehensive program whereby college credit may be granted through means other than enrollment in and the successful completion of prescribed college courses.
The University may grant credit through two national examinations and university departmental examinations. The national exams are the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The University Departmental Examinations are administered on campus by individual academic departments.
Students must be either currently enrolled at Washburn University or former students of Washburn University in order to have credit awarded and posted to their transcripts. Test scores must be submitted directly from national testing companies in order to be considered for credit. Specific information about the different types of examinations is provided below:
